Holly Hughes
Is Rape a Crime? Lady dicks, lesbian Columbos, and the performance of rage in MAGA’s America
Monday, June 30, 6:00–7:30 p.m.
Holly Hughes is a writer and performer whose fearless exploration of queer/lesbian/feminist identity has won them both accolades and congressionally lobbed rotten tomatoes. Hughes will give an overview of their queer work in the context of second wave feminism’s crest, the emergence of a queer and lesbian movement and culture, the AIDS epidemic, and the culture wars in which Hughes played a crucial role. They will also discuss their newest project, Indelible, which imagines that Christine Blasey Ford and Anita Hill have hired Hughes to pick up the case the FBI dropped, and to investigate not only their allegations but all the crimes of the patriarchy. Hughes is faculty at the Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan where they direct the BFA in Interarts Performance.
